Aleksić: Presidential elections after October 4, Vučić must not call them before parliamentary elections – there is no strong candidate

Miroslav Aleksić, a Serbian opposition politician and proponent of a no-confidence vote against the government, asserts that the ruling party plans to address the motion to remove a legal obstacle for calling parliamentary elections. Aleksić anticipates the government will vote to confirm its own mandate, despite its perceived ineffectiveness, to avoid alienating its voter base.

"That government has long fallen... Nobody sees Macut (Đura, acting PM) anywhere. He doesn't exist. He cannot perform the most important role in the state part-time," Aleksić stated, referring to the current government as non-existent and controlled by President Vučić and Prime Minister Brnabić.

That government has long fallen… Macut (Đura, acting PM) nobody sees anywhere. He doesn't exist. He cannot perform the most important role in the state part-time. It (the Government of Serbia) already doesn't exist - Vučić and Brnabić are running it. They are running Serbia.

Aleksić suggests President Vučić is strategically delaying elections, possibly due to concerns about his own presidential prospects. Vučić has offered shifting timelines for both presidential and parliamentary elections, with recent statements indicating presidential elections by early December and parliamentary elections by late 2026 or early 2027. Aleksić believes Vučić fears losing a presidential election and is attempting to gain an advantage through earlier parliamentary elections.

The opposition politician also speculates that parliamentary elections might be scheduled after October 4, coinciding with elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He claims this timing is intended to facilitate the organized transport of voters from Bosnia to support the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). Aleksić views the timing of the no-confidence vote discussion, during a parliamentary recess, as a tactic to minimize public attention and remove procedural barriers to calling elections.

The president is scared for the first time, he doesn't know what to do and is wandering in search of a solution for the best way to stay in power.
